Eldarion (Q. "Elf-scion"; W. "Nimired") (FO 1 - FO 220) was the second King of the Reunited Kingdom of Arnor and Gondor. The mortal (and only) son of King Elessar (Aragorn II) and Arwen, he came to the throne in the year FO 120 of the Fourth Age. Due to his Elven heritage and perhaps his status as a royal child, he was rumored to remain physically youthful, almost adolescent in face, for much of his life.
Items[]
The following Items were handed down as personal heirlooms of the Kings of the Reunited Kingdom after Aragorn's death. Andúril however was laid down in Aragorn's hands on his grave and was not used in battle again. Eldarion would forge many of his own swords, rich and elegant in design, but little is recorded of them.

Notes[]
In MERP, Eldarion is born in FO 43, with Beretar serving as heir presumptive of Elessar until his birth. However, later writings of Tolkien give a precise birthdate of FO 1 for Eldarion, the only specific date from full canon.
